Melting pot is melty

[bunnylove]

My poor mommy. She was in the living room filling out some paperwork for work and she had a pot on the stove. She thought she had it on the minimum setting, but she turned it to max by mistake. For some bizarre reason the pot just started to melt. She saw the steam and ran into the kitchen and instead of just turning off the burner and leaving the pot she panicked and tried to take it over to the sink. She didn't know it had started to melt by then, but there are now melted metal burns on the floor and on the sink mat. Thankfully she wasn't hurt or had a fire start, but it's just so... bizarre. We've used this pot before for many things, so I guess it just couldn't take the heat (literally) anymore.
